Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) on repair, maintenance, and security charges received from Unregistered Dealers (URD) for storage and warehousing services. While RCM is generally not applicable to repair and maintenance, it is applicable to security personnel services from January 1st, 2019, under CGST & IGST laws. It's advised to raise self-invoices and payment vouchers accordingly. For security services, RCM applies to security personnel but not housekeeping. Separate invoices are recommended, and for past periods with ambiguity, paying RCM and claiming ITC is suggested.

Rcm not applicable for the repairs and maintenance charges...


But,

Elobrate the security charges..!

Agreed with Raja sir. 

RCM applicable on security personnel services from 1st Jan 2019 u/s 9(3) CGST & 5(3) IGST laws. (rate of tax 18%).

Ensure self invoice and payment vouchers are being raised appropriately. 

Security Charges including Supervision , Cleaning Labour Supply for warehouse

Dear Amlu,

Notif. 29/2018-CT(R) - RCM applicable on - Security services (services provided by way of supply of security personnel).

RCM is applicable only on security services not on housekeeping activity (cleaning labour), suggest to obtain separate invoices, to ensure RCM is being discharged only on the balance. 

For previous invoices, as there is an ambiguity, consider paying RCM and claiming ITC against the same. Where ITC is not eligible, request vendor to provide separate invoices for prior period. 

Yes... I agreed to Mr CA Akshay Hiregange replies...
